Celebrate

Hello everybody! How are you doing? I hope everything is fine with you. I've been having a pretty busy week, so I am looking forward to the weekend.

Today I would like to share with you a birthday card. I'm participating in a birthday card swap so I need to stock up on those. ;)

For this card I used gorgeous Maja design papers and some white cardstock. I made the flowers myself - to make them I used white foamiran, white pearl stamens and RosyDot AC3 die.

I decorated the card with some pearls, trim and sequins. To add some dimension to my card I used foam pads between different layers.

So much from me today. Have a beautiful day! xx

A super girly birthday card

Good morning! It's my turn to post something for the Foamiran Wednesday on Magnolia-licious blog, so I want to share with you the card I made.

 It's a birthday card I made for a friend of mine. She likes pink, cute images and all those girly things (lace, pearls etc.), so I made sure I included a lot of those on the card. ;)

I just love these pretty Lemon Craft papers. I think they are perfect for making romantic feminine cards. Do you agree? I wanted to give the card a bit more shabby chic look so I distressed the edges. I used several different lace, pom pom trim, pearls and sequins to decorate the card. The decorative border is Magnolia's doohickey die - Edwin lace. The little bunny is from Magnolia's Sunbeam bunnies kit. I stamped this cutie on white neenah paper and coloured it with pencils.

I made the flowers with white and green foamiran and AC3 dies by Rosy Dot.

This is it for me for today. Have a wonderful Wednesday! Bye bye xx

Simple foamiran flowers

Hello everybody! I'm back with another tutorial on how to make these simple foamiran flowers.

To make these flowers I used red and green foamiran, white stamens for the center and Rosy Dot AC3 dies. All of these things are available at Magnolia-licious store. If you like these flowers and want to learn how to make them yourself just watch the video bellow.

Have a beautiful day!

Small paper bag

Hi everybody! I have a very quick and easy project for you today. Did you know Shawn sells Gummiapan goodies in his store? They have many great dies and stamps. 

For my today's project I used Gummiapan bag die. 

I cut the base for the bag from wa white cardstock and glued a piece of patterned paper over it. The sentiment is a Gummiapan stamp. I stamped it on white cardstock and cut it out. I raised it on foampads for some dimension. 

I used some pearls and homemade foamiran flower to decorate the bag. I made the flower with Magnolia stethoscope die and to make it I used mint and yellow foamiran. In case you are wondering how to make this flower I have tutorial for it here.

That's it from me today. Have a beautiful day! xx

Happy 60th anniversary

Hello everybody! I'm back with a new card. This one was made for 2 were special people - my grandparents. They just celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary (wow, right?!). I really wanted to make a shabby chic/romantic card for them and this is what I came up with.

I had these gorgeous shabby chic papers in my stash and I thought they would be perfect for my project. To achieve a (more) romantic look I added lace, pearls and flowers. I also used some crystals, chipboard peices and heart shaped sequins to decorate the card. I distressed the edges with my scissors.

I made the flowers myself - I used white and pale pink foamiran to make them. You fan find foamiran in lots of different colours at Magnolia-licious store. 

To make the big flower I used Tim Holtz's Tattered florals die and for the small (pink) flowers I used Rosy dot AC3 dies. For the center of the flowers I used different stamens from Magnolia-licious store.

This is all from me today. Have a wonderful day! xx

Tilda with little chickens

Hello everybody! I'm here today with a new card. I decided to play with another recently released stamp from Magnolia's Sunbeam collection - this time I chose Tilda with little chickens.

Isn't she a cutie? I really like this whole collection. I stamped the image on neenah solar white paper and coloured it with pencils. It's hard to see in the photo, but I also played with my pencils to create background. 

I made the flowers myself. I used Whimsy stamps Lily flower die set, Rosy dot AC3 dies, several different stamens and 2 different colours of foamiran.  Other embellishments I used on my card are white berries, lace, pearls and paper doily. I also used one of the newly released doohickeys - Wedding lace. Papers are from MME.

This is it from me for today. See you again soon. :) Have a beautiful day! xx

Wonderful Tilda

Hello everybody! I'm back again with another Magnolia card. I just got some new crafty things and I used quite a few of them on my card. Most of them are available at Magnolia-licious store.

This image is called Wonderful Tilda and I just couldn't wait to colour her. I mean, look at her, isn't she a cutie? I coloured her with distress inks. the gorgeous papers are from Maja design Celebration collection. I made the flowers myself from white foamiran and different teal and silver stamens that you can find here. To make the flowers I used Rosy Dot AC3 die and Whimsy stamps Lily flower die set. I made a tutorial for the small flowers I used on my card - you can check it here if you'd like. See the stitched circles I used? They are Rox Stamps dies and they are awesome - real good quality and great price. I embellished the card with some black crystals, pearl string, tiny pearls and some lace and rose ribbon/trim. The black lace is from my stash and the beige lace and rose trim are from Magnolia-licious store. 

Don't forget that the new challenge started yesterday at Magnolia-licious blog. Theme is AG (with *option* Easter) and you don't even have to use Magnolia stamp to join in - see sidebar on the challenge blog for details. I hope you will come play with us. xx
